Hookin' Up & Affordable Wonders Introduces the Fabulous Cult Grrrl

In a place far far away in a Country named Romania there is a province called Transylvania where the local Vampires Ghosts & Werewolves are joining together for the 1st time EVER to discuss their sudden loss of Food... I mean Tourists. Vampires have no fresh humans Ghosts have no one to scare and Werewolves are left with nothing but desire and leftover bones. Why you ask?!?! Well the answer is simple enough....

Thousands of miles away in the Great State of Texas there is definitely more to see but more importantly the city of Houston is now home to the New Age Ghouls, Goblins, Witches, Vampires, Zombunnies. The word has spread and for those that don't believe just follow this link to the fortress that keeps them all safe but not hidden CULT GRRRL!!!! <lightning strikes! Thunder Rolls!!>

Good Morning Everyone I sure do hope you enjoyed my opening! As I mentioned before I am participating in Hookin' Up which in short is a sort of pay-it-forward or should I say Blog-it-forward and each of us will blog about the person after us on the calendar. And I've loved jumping around thru the other blogs that are also participating. But most of all I have enjoyed Cult Grrrl's Blog!

Cult Grrrl was taught to crochet by her Grandmother and continues to crochet in her honor. Jess's (aka: Cult Grrrl) Blog is a wonderful Portfolio of her work. In it you will find her projects as she works on them her thoughts along the way and yes what all of us Crocheters LOVE to hear FREE patterns.  Cult Grrrl's Creations are the cutest SPOOKY things I've ever seen. Sorry Jess if your goal was scary you didn't quite meet your goal yet. I absolutely love her creations especially her Zom-Bunny!! Which is a Zombified Bunny rabbit. My suggestion to all of you would be to visit her Etsy Shop and secure your orders right away as you will have no problem finding something for you to display for Halloween. Decorate your bathroom Desk at work Kitchen. YES I can see her Amigurumi just about anywhere. She also makes the cutest little owls. Her prices are very reasonable and even though I crochet myself I would much rather purchase something like this from her where you can tell the amount of Love that goes into each creation.

But there is even more to Cult Grrrl the more I researched her Blog and Shop to more I learned about her. She is very active in charity. Namely Searching for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. 20% of ALL her sales go to Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and occasionally she will list a few items where 100% of the sale is donated!

Jess is also having a Contest Giveaway to celebrate her 200th fan so don't forget to jump on over there and enter for your chance to win!

Well I hope you enjoyed this entry and we welcome and appreciate all comments! If you enjoyed this post and would like to be introduce to other great bloggers please visit Crochet Concupiscence for a calendar of postings! Have a wonderful day.CONTEST CELEBRATION

Hookin' Up Project Please Show Support! :)

Good Morning Everyone,

There are a lot of Bloggers that are like myself in that no we don't use the big words and probably don't have the  best tags. But what we do have is a very serious passion for what we blog about. The World Wide Web is a huge place and it is easy to disappear in it. Some of the best blogs that I've read are blogs that I've found just blog hoppin around. Blogs that little to no followers.

Well Kathryn Vercillo from Crochet Concupiscence has organized a wonderful project for us Crochet Bloggers. It's project Hookin' Up. It is a form of "Blogging Forward". Where each person picks a date on the calendar. Each person will blog on the date that they picked about the Blog that follows their date.  I blog  because I like to and it's like my "Diary" when it comes to my crafts mainly Crocheting and Knitting. But also in hopes to start conversations as well I can't exactly speak to my husband about these topic before I see that far away look in his eyes where I know I've lost him lol! So what I'd like to get out of this project is new friends to interact with.

Kathryn has a wonderful blog I really can't say enough about. She not only blogs about her own projects but she also blogs about crochet news reviews books and featured projects of other crafters. Her blog is also so educational so if you are new to crocheting Crochet Concupiscence is a wonderful place to start. She is great at replying to questions fairly quickly. I know I've gone to some of the bigger sites and though they are friendly they have soooo many things going on that you kinda have to count on the followers to answer questions. On Crochet Concupiscence Kathryn does such a great job at making her followers feel like they are her number one priority.

So I humbly ask you all to show support and drop a comment or two to the people participating in Hookin Up in hopes that Kathryn will continue to host this project! Here is a link that will take you straight to the Hookin' up participants as well as taking you straight to Crochet Concupiscence.  Next to each day there is a Blog name which is hyper-linked to their blogs. Thanks for reading have a wonderful day!! http://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/2011/07/hookin-up-project-kicks-off/
